Do we need to write out the formula or label the numbers to get the points? - Charterholders inputs please?

Yes, definitely put in the formula for presumably as much marks as possible - Even if its PV = 100, n = 5 and you’re solving for FV for ex.

Side note: read the question, UNDERSTAND what its asking. THINK and then fill out your answer…i’m not being facetious but if you want to save time answer specifically, not flowery.

cheers

Yes, I second to your side note. I counted the stupid errors I made due to not reading the questions correctly/not circling the intended answer/forgot to circle/calculation errors in one mock, which cost me 16 points in total and made a major difference! I was banging my head against the wall after I graded myself…Now I understand why some people got 70s and some didn’t…

100% agree… I count about 10% on AM lost due to stupid mistakes of not reading things properly… that can be difference of pass or fail… I need to practice my active reading better… but now with 6 days cutting it close… yikes… not enough practice time… left myself short of time so hoping I will be alert on game day and not make stupid mistakes.

how many of us were able to follow these steps during the exam?

No idea. I blacked out.
